The Arkwrights Reopens in Preston Following £280,546 Investment

The Arkwrights in Preston has reopened following a £280,546 investment by Proper Pubs, the community wet-led division of Admiral Taverns.

Located on Plungington Road, the pub officially reopened on 1 October following a refurbishment of its interior and exterior.

Aiden Bowley has taken over as operator of The Arkwrights after completing the Proper Pubs Pathways Training Programme.

Launched earlier this year, the 12-week programme combines practical experience across several pubs with structured online learning before participants take responsibility for running a venue independently.

Bowley was selected for the programme while working as Assistant Manager at another Proper Pubs venue, The Plungington in Preston.

The refurbishment at The Arkwrights has introduced new flooring, fixtures, fittings, furniture and décor throughout the pub.
